Banasthali Vidyapith

What are the cutoffs for Banasthali Vidyapith in 2026?

For 2026, admission to Banasthali Vidyapith is decided through the Banasthali University Aptitude Test (BUAT), the university's own women-only entrance exam, and not through a JEE Main or state rank. For B.Tech, the 2026 BUAT paper is scheduled for June 20, 2026 (result expected in the first week of July 2026), and admission is granted on a combined merit list built from 50% of your BUAT score plus 50% of your normalised Class 12 aggregate. Banasthali does not publish a single fixed numeric closing rank; instead, indicative BUAT score bands compiled by education portals suggest that Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) typically closes near 75-80 marks out of 100 in the general merit, with other branches a few marks lower. Because Banasthali is a self-financed deemed university admitting only women candidates, there is one combined merit list rather than separate category-wise closing ranks. The headline takeaway for a 2026 aspirant: aim for roughly 75+ in BUAT and a strong PCM aggregate in Class 12 to be safe for the top branches.

This page breaks down the year-wise BUAT cutoff trend, the course-wise picture, what those numbers mean for your realistic chances, and the questions aspirants ask most often about getting into Banasthali Vidyapith.

Year-Wise Cutoff Trends (2024-2026)

The table below tracks the indicative BUAT closing marks (out of 100) for Banasthali Vidyapith's main B.Tech branches across 2024, 2025 and 2026. These figures are the general-merit score bands reported by Indian education portals, since Banasthali does not release an official numeric branch-wise cutoff; admission is finalised on the combined BUAT-plus-Class 12 merit list. Read each row as the approximate BUAT score at which that branch filled up: a higher number means tighter competition. The 2026 column is shown as "to be released" because BUAT 2026 results are due only in July 2026.

The clear takeaway is that CSE is consistently the toughest entry at Banasthali, sitting at the top of the band in every year, while Chemical Engineering remains the most accessible. The branches stay tightly packed within a roughly 10-mark window, so a single strong BUAT performance can shift you across two or three branch options. Because Banasthali admits women candidates on one combined merit list, there are no separate OBC, SC or ST closing scores to chase; your priority is simply a high BUAT score paired with a strong Class 12 aggregate.

Course-Wise Cutoff at Banasthali Vidyapith

This table compares the indicative 2024 BUAT closing scores against the expected 2025 bands branch by branch, so you can see which Banasthali programme matches your likely score. It answers the practical question, "With my expected BUAT marks, which branch can I realistically target?" Read the branches from top to bottom in descending order of competitiveness: CSE demands the highest score, and each step down opens up a slightly lower entry point. All figures are general combined-merit BUAT scores out of 100.

For context beyond engineering, Banasthali's MBA programme through BUAT closed near 72 marks in 2024 with an expected 70-75 band for 2025, putting it in the same competitive zone as IT. The course-wise pattern means an aspirant scoring in the high 70s has a strong shot at CSE, while a score in the mid-to-high 60s comfortably opens Chemical or ECE. Since the gap between the top and bottom branch is only about 10 marks, candidates close to the CSE cutoff should list it as a first preference and keep IT or ECE as a realistic backup.

Cutoff Trend Analysis

Banasthali Vidyapith's B.Tech cutoffs have held broadly steady-to-rising at the top end, with CSE anchored near 78 in 2024 and projected to stay in the 75-80 band for 2025. The upward pressure on CSE and IT is driven by Banasthali's improving national profile: it ranked 71st in Engineering, 66th in the University category, and a notable 22nd in Pharmacy in NIRF 2025, which steadily increases applications for its computing branches. Because the merit list weights BUAT and Class 12 equally at 50:50, a strong board percentage can offset a slightly lower BUAT score, which keeps the effective cutoff competitive rather than runaway. Realistically, a candidate aiming for CSE should target around 78-80 in BUAT with an 80%+ Class 12 PCM aggregate; for IT or ECE, a BUAT score in the low 70s is competitive; and for Chemical Engineering, mid-to-high 60s is generally sufficient. Aspirants short of the CSE band should not be discouraged, because the 50% Class 12 weighting and the relatively narrow branch spread mean a balanced profile can still secure a strong branch at Banasthali.
